We understand accuracy can be derived from a number of factors, therefore quality is paramount. Unlike many consumer based UAVs, our copter is specifically designed for quality data capture without perceivable distortions. This will yield a high data capture, with greater accuracy and a lower RMSE. SiteScan will operate comfortably some where in the vertical RMSE 0.130 range, similar to terrestrial LIDAR. This is thanks to a larger sensor, greater GSD, and minimal distortion from the lack of electronic digital stabilization found in many consumer based drones.

The Sony R10C sensor is built from the ground up to capture data with precision in mind. With larger photosites, higher dynamic range, and a greater megapixel count you can rest assured your project will contain more information than any product on the market. Thanks to low altitude flying, Capion Studio can achieve a GSD of 0.3 inches per pixel (100 FT AGL) to 1.0 inch per pixel (400 FT AGL) depending on project conditions. Having the ability to capture such a great resolution at such a low altitude will dramatically enhance your GSD, far beyond traditional manned aerial surveying.

​

Attaining quality data is only part of the equation. With the 3DR SiteScan package, our images are geotagged while in flight using a mechanical shutter, eliminating the human error of offset syncing. The Sony R10C sensor is mapped to the AutoDesk ReCap Cloud engine. This means that the ReCap engine is built around the Sony R10C, utilizing the entire width of the sensor. This enables us to create a true overlapping flight mission without disposing of valuable pixel data in processing. We are capable of minimizing pixel interpolation with millions of points and preventing rubber sheeting when paired with your GCPs. As a result we are capable of creating crisp maps and models with a high fidelity. Our SiteScan pairs with hundreds of known coordinate systems and are output in WGS84 standard upon completion.
